In the 20th and 21st centuries, Agassiz's resistance to Darwinian evolution, belief in creationism, and the scientific racism implicit in his writings on human polygenism have tarnished his reputation, and led to controversies over his legacy.
在20世紀和21世紀,阿加西(Agassiz)對達爾文進化論的抵制,對創造論的信仰以及他關於人類多基因主義的著作中所隱含的科學種族主義破壞了他的聲譽,並引發了關於他的遺產的爭議。

Wikipedia
Scientific racism is a pseudoscientific belief that empirical evidence exists to support or justify racism (racial discrimination), racial inferiority, or racial superiority.[1][2][3] Historically, scientific racism received credence throughout the scientific community, but it is no longer considered scientific.[2][3]
科學種族主義是一種偽科學的信念,即存在經驗證據來支持或證明種族主義(種族歧視),種族自卑或種族優越。[1] [2] [3] 從歷史上看,科學種族主義在整個科學界都廣受讚譽,但不再被視為科學。[2] [3]
